COP27 Video of the Week: “Witnesses of a Melting Glacier: Monitoring Activity from Marmolada to the Peaks of Georgia”

In summer 2022, a team of scientists undertook expeditions to Italy and Georgia to monitor the melting of glaciers, and produced a documentary film detailing their work. This COP27 side event offers an inside look at their observations from Marmolada, Rila National Park, and Mount Kazbek. Speakers include Francesca Mancarella, Advocacy Specialist at UNICEF Italy; Giuseppe Caridi, the Climate Route; Alex Nicolini, Università degli Studi di Trento (UNITN); and Sara Pasqualini Pecnikaj, UNITN and the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano.
